Anyone for a Gumstix? | Dan Course | Thought Pie

Our new bit of lovely Bluetooth equipment arrived today, a Gumstix "Proximity Marketing device"!

Thought Den - Bluetooth Proximity Device
This box will be able to push out files over Bluetooth to enabled devices and comes with a mini antenna and some fun Bubble-wrap!

The aim now is to get this thing being powered by batteries to make it mobile and then start researching it with the Happy Fountains project. The box will begin pushing the select files out over the Bluetooth spectrum and gopping people in select areas around the city.

There are some things we require help with however,

  1. The electronics to make it powered by batteries so it'll fit in our pocket.
  2. We're going to need a lovely free Linux programmer to work out all the Bluetooth Push and Pull

Tarim will offer to lend a hand with the Bluetooth on Linux (though he's not so sure about being described as "lovely"). Don't let this stop anyone else joining in too…
